I’m posting this a bit early, but tomorrow I leave for camping so I won’t be in range to post anything more. I’ve scheduled my post for my 2015 list though so that it’s there while I’m away, right on time. The only reason I’m able to post this one early is because it’s pretty … Read more

52: Blog 100 memories ( 11 to 15 – music)

52 in 52 - memories

11 – First concert (year unknown) When I was younger, at one point I was hanging out with a church group. In all fairness it was because I wanted to join in all their cool social activities – water fights, bowling etc, and most certainly not because I was interested in learning about God. The … Read more

Sadly, this has been inspired by the events of the Sydney siege, of which I’m watching the rolling broadcast on TV as we speak. My thoughts are with the hostages, and I hope it’s a peaceful resolution with no injuries or fatalities. The list below are from those historical moments where you always remember where … Read more

52 in 52: Watch all of the James Bond movies

by
“52 in 52″ is a list of things that I would like to complete throughout 2014. Click here to the whole list.

 

I’m a huge fan of action movies, and anything that involves espionage and spying. Needless to say James Bond was right up my alley, and I’ve loved watching them since I was a kid (although I had some hatred for Pierce Brosnan that I can’t explain).

Finally this year, I thought it would be fun to watch all of them in the space of a year. Side note – I had planned on watching them in the correct order, but being on a plane and not remembering the order meant that I accidentally watched a couple of them in the wrong order.

As I have been watching them, it’s quite fun to read up on IMDB about the movies and find out some trivia. For example, Live and Let Die has love scenes with a black woman, which were stripped in South Africa due to the government at the time. Reading trivia on movies is a love of mine, although I’m sure it gets annoying for the people around me when I interrupt the movie with a “did you know…”.

Below is a running list of all the movies, and my status on where I’m up to (in the format of Title – Year). Some I have seen before (basically all of them from 1995 onwards) some I will have never seen before. Either way, I can’t wait to see all of them during 2014.
